POND Portfolio III

Background
This pond was built in 1999 and is 8,000 gallons, 6 feet deep and has a 500 gallon filtration system. Dimensions are 23 x 19 which visually gives the appearance of a lot volume. Ten tons of limestone rockery were used around the pond perimeter I am really happy with the way the waterfall turned out and it is fed from filter system overflow. The Koi collection is getting more impressive as fish are being selectively added and developing well

Equipment
4" bottom drain | 3" mid water feed | FluidArt Challenger 40 | 240 gallon settlement chamber | 225 gallon multi chamber filter | Alita 40 air compressor | 2 x Dolphin 3k ampmaster | Delta EP 52 watt Sterilizer

Background
This pond was built in 1999 and is quite large being 23 x 17 and almost 6 feet deep. Clarke Koi installed the liner, bottom drain, aeration / filtration systems and the U.V. sterilizers. There is also a skimmer which can double as a mid-water feed. Another landscape contractor did the landscaping and rock work which unfortunately did not turn out as planned. One mistake they made was to embed the rock work in concrete which is not aesthetically appealing. The waterfall also began tilting because a proper footing was not poured

Equipment

Constructed in 2002, this pond is 3.5 feet deep and measures about 12 x 4 - 7 feet in size. Wayne helped throughout the construction and we are both pleased with the results. The filter is tucked away out of site behind the waterfall. The pond is covered every winter with a greenhouse. Wayne keeps both koi and goldfish
